Great location
Enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo. It was very clean and the location is awesome! Desk check in person was suppose to call us when room was ready but never did call. We also did not expect the major construction noise taking place just below the balcony. Even so, we would definitely stay here again.

Great Place!
Rick and Sharon’s condo worked out perfectly for us. It’s in a great location and is clean and comfortable. It has a great view of the mountain and is a short walk to the gondola, shops and restaurants. You can hop on a free bus to bring you into Vail village or walk along a beautiful path near Gore Creek. We would definitely like to stay there again!

Perfect Vail Condo with a View!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this perfect Vail condo! We especially liked the location, wonderful Mountain View while being steps away from all the restaurants, shops, trails of the entire Vail Village! Our days started with coffee on the balcony and ended watching the moon rise over the mountain! (Stayed in August). Communication with the owners was stellar, so helpful in every regard. They have thought of everything to have available in the condo. Location, owners, amenities = 10++ STARS!!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon & Rick

Host profile image
I was born and raised in a suburb of Charlotte, NC (Huntersville) and was living in Wilmington, NC when I was invited to a girls weekend get-away to Vail in 1993. I met my (now) husband Rick in the Red Lion the first day of that trip (blissful ever since!). Rick was living in Wisconsin at the time, so we dated long-distance for a year and a half. The following year he proposed to me at the top of the Mountain Top Express lift (4) overlooking Sun Up Bowl, China Bowl, and what is now Blue Sky Basin with a photographer in-tow. I said "yes!" and moved to the Midwest to start our new life together (I'm still not certain that leaving a coastal community for the Midwest was the best idea :-). After raising our three kids in suburban Minneapolis, in 2017 we traded our snow blower for the sun and sand dunes of Hilton Head Island, SC...you know the old saying..."you can take a girl out of the South but you can't take the South out of the girl y'all!" :-). We love the beach but get our "snow fix" in Vail as often as we can. Needless to say, Vail is truly a magical place for us. Our family (which now includes grandkids) continues to enjoy Vail often in all seasons.

Owning a place in Vail was a dream of ours since the day we met. Now that we have a place to call our own, we are happy to share our Vail home with you to make your own memories.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope that you enjoy our place as much as we do, and we welcome you back on your next visit to the Vail Valley.

Why they chose this property

Lion Square Lodge is so close to all that Vail has to offer. The ski-in/ski-out convenience and Lionshead Village Square steps from the door make this the perfect place to be, winter or summer. Lion Square Lodge has so many amenities which makes staying here incredibly easy and convenient. Unlike several ski-in/ski-out places, Lion Square Lodge North Residences are very quiet during the evenings which makes it the perfect place for families and couples looking for a romantic get-away.
